particularly those with complex or literary styles. The Passive Voice Negative Inversion © ©ENGLISH WITH LUCY YOUTUBE.COM/ENGLISHWITHLUCY Those at a C1 level should be familiar with hedging and boosting when writing and speaking. Hedging is a linguistic strategy that allows speakers to soften or downplay the force of their statements, often by using hedging verbs like ‘to seem’, the passive voice, and adverbs like ‘presumably’. It seems like this might be a good solution. Boosting, on the other hand, involves using language to increase the force or impact of a statement, often by using adverbs like ‘undeniably’ and strong verbs like ‘to prove’. This has been proven to be the best solution to our problem. Another important aspect of achieving a C1 level of English is understanding the various meanings of a number of phrasal verbs. Depending on the context, phrasal verbs can take on different meanings. To effectively communicate and understand advanced conversations, you will need proficiency in using phrasal verbs. Here’s a quick example using the phrasal verb ‘set up’: set up (a time for a meeting): Let's set up a meeting for next week. set up (people on a date): My friend set me up with her cousin. Hedging and Boosting Phrasal Verbs with Multiple Meanings Never have I seen such a beautiful sunset. Such was the commotion that I could barely hear myself think. © ©ENGLISH WITH LUCY YOUTUBE.COM/ENGLISHWITHLUCY Some of the most important grammatical tools C1 level students need to master are the use of coordinating, correlative and subordinating conjunctions and connectors because they enable you to form more complex and varied sentence structures, enhancing your ability to express ideas and arguments. These tools also help to establish logical connections between ideas, making written and spoken communication more coherent, persuasive and fluid overall. These should have been learnt at the B1/B2 level, but a demonstrated level of proficiency is necessary at the C1 level. coordinating conjunctions: She loves peanuts, but she’s allergic to them. correlative conjunctions: Neither of us wanted to go to the concert, nor did we have the money to buy tickets. subordinating conjunctions: While I was walking my dog, I saw a beautiful sunset. connectors: He missed his flight; therefore, he had to stay at a hotel overnight. There are many more structures, words and phrases you should know at C1 level, like how to use non-finite clauses, advanced comparative structures, like, " It was so great a film that I had to see it twice, " and advanced discourse markers and fixed expressions that you can use in writing and speech. Conjunctions and Connectors set up (the living room for a playdate): I need to set up the living room for the kids. © ©ENGLISH WITH LUCY YOUTUBE.COM/ENGLISHWITHLUCY decide (verb) decision (noun) - indecision (negative noun) decisive (adjective) - indecisive (negative adjective) Understanding word families is an important skill that helps expand your vocabulary through roots, prefixes and suffixes, which help deduce the meaning of unfamiliar words. You'll also need to use them correctly in context, as well as have the skill to recognise and use words in different forms, such as noun, verb, adjective or adverb. For example: VOCABULARY - KEY FOCUS POINTS Word Formation When it comes to vocabulary, you should be able to express yourself fluently and spontaneously on a wide range of topics and be able to understand complex written and spoken texts. You’ll need to know a wide range of vocabulary on the topics of your lifestyle and well-being, nutrition and how it affects you, housing and urban versus rural life, and how people’s different personalities mean you gel with someone and not someone else. At C1, you’ll also have to be comfortable with language connected to work and business, including the hot-button topics of remote working, burnout and resignation, freelancing and changing careers.
